I like the way the staff are very organized in everything. Bag of toiletries and breakfast meals are handed in daily. The beach has nice fine sand and cleaned daily too. The accommodations are quite basic but ok. There are too many day trip cottages that the sand part is almost gone during high tide. The fun part during hightide are the cleanr waters with variety of sea creatures swimming.

You only have two (2) beach resort options at SBMA: Camayan and All Hands. So let me compare both to help travelers decide:
Location: Go for All Hands. It's very near the eating places though it feels more private than Camayan.
Budget: Go for All Hands. A lot cheaper than Camayan. Plus you can bring food inside the resort too.
Rooms: Camayan. Beds are more comfy, toilets are clean, and you have more room type options.
Ambiance: All Hands. They have great music for the entire resort which added up to the relaxing feel of the beach and sand. Camayan is more crowded too, and can be noisy at times.
Beach: Both are very clean.
Service: Camayan. They have more staff. But both are courteous.
Amenities: Camayan. They have a videoke room for rent too.

A nice small location, which can get really busy. A good place for families With young children. Not so good if you want peace and quiet to relax.

The place was well prepared for the tourists coming from Manila the weekend we went there. We went on a Friday to avoid the crowd and there was no requirement for swabs or vaccination cards. Kids get to enjoy the giant floaters and there was enough distancing with other groups, There is also a restaurant where you can order your lunch. Kids enjoyed!

A wonderful peaceful beach with clean waters. The beach is a natural nesting ground for sea turtles.
They work extremely hard to preserve this. And have released thousands of baby turtles back to the sea.

Our family definitely enjoyed our overnight stay in this beautiful place. We are all residents of olongapo and this is our second time to be here after many years. We love the development, the cleanliness and the politeness of all staff and crew..The assistance from the reception all the way to our checkin and check out were truly memorable and will for sure be back again on the next occasion.

My family and I booked for 3days and 2 nights and paid in full the amount for a family room good for 5 persons thru online.
When we arrived at All Hands Beach resort at 0900H morning time, we were assigned at the 2nd level of the family room wherein I requested to give us the ground level instead coz we have a 55 yr old woman who could not go upstairs on the 2nd level. Unfortunately our request was not granted. The reception officer told us that the ground level 2 rooms were reserved already.
My point is they should accomodate those customers who arrived first and has paid the reservation in full and for those visitors with old man/woman companion. Here is their system, Once you have paid in full, you will received a confirmation of payment thru email and there's no family room number assigned/given to us ( its only indicated family room no 8 to 11) meaning we have our option to choose from room no 8 to 11 in case rooms are unoccupied. During that time, said rooms are still unoccupied and our request was not granted.
Next, they said the nipa hut cottages nearby the beach are free to use if we have checked in. But when we went to the cottage for us to swim, there is one All Hands personnel came to us and said, we have to transfer to another cottage as the cottage we are using was reserved already for the walk -in ( those who did not checked in & just stayed for 1 day). I was so very disappointed of what treatment given to us. Their priority were those who walked in not those who have checked in.
The beach is clean but the service is "PALAKASAN YSTEM" and POOR service. For them business is business, they don't care with their customers.
FOOD - Breakfast is free for those who checked-in. Food is tasteless & not good - fried bangus (not totally fried), rice (no fried rice).
I have gone to 1-5 star beach resorts but this beach resort is a nightmare . My family and I will not recommend this beach anymore.

The website says PHP 150 per person. When we got there the lady said PHP 500 per person and an additional PHP 350 for use of the beach and facilities. That was just to go to the beach, not stay overnight or anything,

Everything over priced. 1000P per head when all the hidden fees are paid for entrance. Food and bar drinks 4 times more costly then in Olongapo. Beach is about 1000 feet long with white sand without stones or coral out into the water until over your head. Water is bath water temperature [not refreshing] and very clouded with brown algae through out the total water volume making it impossible to see your feet. Wind blows onshore 90% of the time driving some unseen water creatures that sting the body all over leaving no welts or marks. Did not enjoy the water at this over priced beach. Has very limited parking on the road along the beach under trees that drip sap over your car. No fee for parking. Must get there very early to get a parking place,[before 9am]..

1. no pwd parking. there is a pwd slot but the rude guard does not allow parking there. i think he is reserving it to another customer but is coming up with assorted excuses to drive us away.
2.no manager. when we asked for manager assistant,we were informed that there is none.i guess that explains the attitude of the staff.

Entrance fee is 600 per pax. I think kids 4ft below are half the price. Our kids are above 4ft so they paid in full.

Last time I went to swim was about P500. But if you go to eat only like we do most of the time they let you in free.

Hi Marj, the beach entrance fee isn't posted on their website. However, if you go to the site, there is an email address as well as a landline listed. You can contact them directly. They also have a Facebook site, but the rates aren't posted on the site either.

If we book for a day tour in advance, will there also be an assigned cottage for us?
